BACKGROUND

Modern petroleum drilling and production operations may demand a great quantity of information relating to the parameters and conditions downhole. Such information typically includes the location and orientation of the borehole and drilling assembly, earth formation properties, and parameters of the downhole drilling environment. The collection of information relating to formation properties and downhole conditions is commonly referred to as “logging”, and can be performed during the drilling process itself (hence the term “logging while drilling” or “LWD,” frequently used interchangeably with the term “measurement while drilling” or “MWD”).

Various measurement tools exist for use in LWD. One such tool is the resistivity tool, which includes one or more antennas for transmitting an electromagnetic signal into the formation and one or more antennas for receiving a formation response. Physical phenomena that determine how the measurement is made may vary with frequency, for example. In some examples, the amplitude and/or the phase of the receive signals are compared to the amplitude and/or phase of the transmit signals to measure the formation resistivity. In other cases, the amplitude and/or phase of multiple receive signals are compared to each other to measure the formation resistivity.

When plotted as a function of depth or tool position in the borehole, the logging tool measurements are termed “logs.” Resistivity logging may be used in well logging to determine geological correlation of formation strata and detect and quantify potentially productive formation zones. Such logs may provide indications of hydrocarbon concentrations and other information useful to drillers and completion engineers. In particular, azimuthally-sensitive logs may provide information useful for steering the drilling assembly because they can inform the driller when a target formation bed has been entered or exited, thereby enabling modifications to the drilling program that will provide much more value and higher success than would be the case using only seismic data.

Generally, in real formations, a resistivity of the formation varies in different directions, for example, a formation resistivity may vary in the x, y, and z coordinates. Previous methods of determining a formation resistivity may have assumed a uniaxial vertical 1-dimensional (V-1D) structure where resistivity is assumed to be constant on an x-y plane, for example, with resistivity only varying in the z direction. In some uncomplicated formations, an assumption of V1-D may be appropriate as the assumption of V1-D may closely match the true formation resistivity. However, in complicated formations with real resistivity varying in three directions, the assumption of V-1D may not produce an accurate enough picture of formation resistivity. Using an assumption of V-1D may result in an incomplete picture of formation resistivity and thereby a sub-optimal drilling path may be followed. As a consequence, a full Green's Tensor for resistivity in complicated formations may not be able to be calculated using the assumption of V-1D.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

This disclosure may generally relate to apparatuses, systems and methods for producing deep formation evaluations using logging while drilling (“LWD”) tools with multiple subs. In other examples, this disclosure may relate to apparatuses, systems and methods for producing deep formation evaluations using wireline logging having multiple subs.

The resistivity of a given formation may be isotropic (equal in all directions) or anisotropic (unequal in different directions). In electrically anisotropic formations, the anisotropy is generally attributable to extremely fine layering during the sedimentary buildup of the formation. As a result, in a formation Cartesian coordinate system oriented such that the x-y plane is parallel to the formation layers and the z axis is perpendicular to the formation layers, resistivities Rx and Ry in the x and y directions, respectively, may tend to be similar, but resistivity Rz in the z direction may tend to be different. The resistivity in a direction parallel to the formation plane (i.e., the x-y plane) may be referred to as the horizontal resistivity, Rh, and the resistivity in the direction perpendicular to the plane of the formation (i.e., the z direction) may be referred to the vertical resistivity, Rv. The index of anisotropy, η, is defined as r|=[Rv/Rh]^(1/2).

As previously discussed, a complex formation may have resistivity that is directionally dependent in three dimension. Such a formation may be referred to as anisotropic. A resistivity of a formation may also be described as isotropic or uniaxial. For a formation that is isotropic, Equation 1 may describe the resistivity. An isotropic formation may have no variation in resistivity with orientation in the formation. Equation 2 may describe a uniaxial formation where the resistivity does not vary in the x-y plane but varies with z. Although illustrated in the x-y plane in Equation 2, the plane may also be x-z or y-z. As previously discussed, an assumption that a formation behaves in a uniaxial manner may be referred to as V1-D. Equation 3 illustrates the case of an anisotropic formation resistivity where the resistivity is directionally dependent in three dimensions.

The disclosed apparatuses, systems and methods may be best understood in the context of the larger systems in which they operate. FIG. 1 illustrates a diagrammatic view of an exemplary logging while drilling (LWD) and/or measurement while drilling (MWD) wellbore operating environment 100 in which the present disclosure may be implemented. As depicted in FIG. 1, a drilling platform 102 is equipped with a derrick 104 that supports a hoist 106 for raising and lowering a drill string 108. The hoist 106 suspends a top drive 110 suitable for rotating the drill string 108 and lowering the drill string 108 through the well head 112. Connected to the lower end of the drill string 108 is a drill bit 114. As the drill bit 114 rotates, the drill bit 114 creates a wellbore 116 that passes through various formations 118. A pump 120 circulates drilling fluid through a supply pipe 122 to top drive 110, down through the interior of drill string 108, through orifices in drill bit 114, back to the surface via the annulus around drill string 108, and into a retention pit 124. The drilling fluid transports cuttings from the wellbore 116 into the pit 124 and aids in maintaining the integrity of the wellbore 116. Various materials can be used for drilling fluid, including oil-based fluids and water-based fluids.

As depicted in FIG. 1, logging tools 126 are integrated into the bottom-hole assembly 125 near the drill bit 114. As the drill bit 114 extends the wellbore 116 through the formations 118, logging tools 126 collect measurements relating to various formation properties as well as the orientation of the tool and various other drilling conditions. The bottom-hole assembly 125 may also include a telemetry sub 128 to transfer measurement data to a surface receiver 130 and to receive commands from the surface. In some embodiments, the telemetry sub 128 communicates with a surface receiver 130 using mud pulse telemetry. In other cases, the telemetry sub 128 does not communicate with the surface, but rather stores logging data for later retrieval at the surface when the logging assembly is recovered. Notably, one or more of the bottom-hole assembly 125, the logging tools 126, and the telemetry sub 128 may also operate using a non-conductive cable (e.g. slickline, etc.) with a local power supply, such as batteries and the like. When employing non-conductive cable, communication may be supported using, for example, wireless protocols (e.g. EM, acoustic, etc.) and/or measurements and logging data may be stored in local memory for subsequent retrieval at the surface, as is appreciated by those skilled in the art.

Each of the logging tools 126 may include a plurality of tool components, spaced apart from each other, and communicatively coupled with one or more wires. Logging tools 126 may include tools such as the one shown in FIG. 4 in order to perform resistivity, or conductivity logging. The telemetry sub 128 may include wireless telemetry or logging capabilities, or both, such as to transmit or later provide information indicative of received energy/waveforms to operators on the surface or for later access and data processing for the evaluation of formation 118 properties.

The logging tools 126, including the resistivity logging tool, may also include one or more computing device 150 communicatively coupled with one or more of the plurality of tool components. Computing device 150 may comprise components such as processors, memory, input/output devices, interfaces, and the like. The computing device 150 may be configured to control or monitor the performance of the tools 126, process logging data, and/or carry out the methods of the present disclosure.

In some embodiments, one or more of the logging tools 126 may communicate with a surface receiver 130, such as a wired drillpipe. In other cases, the one or more of the logging tools 126 may communicate with a surface receiver 130 by wireless signal transmission. In at least some cases, one or more of the logging tools 126 may receive electrical power from a wire that extends to the surface, including wires extending through a wired drillpipe. In at least some instances the methods and techniques of the present disclosure may be performed by a computing device (not shown) on the surface. In some embodiments, the computing device may be included in surface receiver 130. For example, surface receiver 130 of wellbore operating environment 100 at the surface may include one or more of wireless telemetry, processor circuitry, or memory facilities, such as to support substantially real-time processing of data received from one or more of the logging tools 126. In some embodiments, data is processed at some time subsequent to its collection, wherein the data may be stored on the surface at surface receiver 130, stored downhole in telemetry sub 128, or both, until it is retrieved for processing.

FIG. 2 shows an illustrative example of a deep formation evaluation logging tool that includes two LWD tool modules 202 and 206 at different locations and orientations along a drillstring. In the example shown, a resistivity logging tool receive antenna 212 and a corresponding receive antenna position measurement device 222 a may be housed within LWD tool module 202, while a resistivity logging tool transmit antenna 216 and a corresponding transmit antenna position measurement device 222 b (components of an “at bit” instrument) are housed within LWD tool module 206. The position measurement devices may locate the position of each corresponding antenna, which may be expressed, for example, in terms of each antenna's tilt angle (θ_(r) and θ_(t) relative to the z_(r) and z_(t) axes respectively; generally fixed and known), each antenna's azimuthal angle (α_(r) and α_(t) relative to the x axis), each LWD tool module's inclination angle (φ_(r) and φ_(t)) and the distance d′ between the antennas.

As a further complication to measuring formation resistivity, boreholes are generally perpendicular to formation beds. The angle between the axis of the well bore and the orientation of the formation beds (as represented by the normal vector) has two components. These components are the dip angle and the azimuth angle. The dip angle is the angle between the borehole axis and the normal vector for the formation bed. The azimuth angle is the direction in which the borehole's axis “leans away from” the normal vector. Electromagnetic resistivity logging measurements are a complex function of formation resistivity, formation anisotropy, and the formation dip and azimuth angles, which may all be unknown. A triaxial induction well logging tool may be used to detect formation properties such as resistivity anisotropy, which is one of the important parameters in evaluation subterranean formations such as sand-shale reservoirs or fractured reservoirs. However, the resistivity anisotropy parameter cannot be obtained without performing a numerical inversion process. Specifically, numerical inversion may be required to obtain accurate formation resistivity anisotropy parameters. The log inversion required for anisotropy determination may involve a large number of inversion parameters to be determined by an algorithm referred to as the ID vertical inversion. Generally, this algorithm may require large amounts of processing time and be sensitive to noise from logging, the logging environment characteristics and borehole correction, which could result in errors in the inverted vertical resistivity.

FIG. 3 illustrates a diagrammatic view of a conveyance logging wellbore operating environment 300 in which the present disclosure may be implemented. As depicted in FIG. 3, a hoist 306 may be included as a portion of a platform 302, such as that coupled to derrick 304, and used with a conveyance 342 to raise or lower equipment such as resistivity logging tool 310 into or out of a borehole. Resistivity logging tool 310 may include, for example, tools such as the one shown in FIG. 4. A conveyance 342 may provide a communicative coupling between the resistivity logging tool 310 and a logging facility 344 at the surface. The conveyance 342 may include wires (one or more wires), slicklines, cables, or the like, as well as tubular conveyances such as coiled tubing, joint tubing, or other tubulars, and may include a downhole tractor. Additionally, power can be supplied via the conveyance 342 to meet power requirements of the tool. The resistivity logging tool 310 may have a local power supply, such as batteries, downhole generator and the like. When employing non-conductive cable, coiled tubing, pipe string, or downhole tractor, communication may be supported using, for example, wireless protocols (e.g. EM, acoustic, etc.), and/or measurements and logging data may be stored in local memory for subsequent retrieval. The logging facility 344 may include a computing device 350 capable of carrying out the methods and techniques of the present disclosure. In this manner, information about the formation 318 may be obtained by resistivity logging tool 310 and processed by a computing device, such as computing device 350. In some embodiments, computing device 350 is equipped to process the received information in substantially real-time, while in some embodiments, computing device 350 can be equipped to store the received information for processing at some subsequent time.

FIG. 4 illustrates an example wellbore tool 400 that may be used in the systems and methods described herein. Wellbore tool 400 may comprise transmitter sub 405 and one or more receiver subs 410, 411, and 412. In some examples, transmitter sub 405 may be referred to as TX and receiver subs 410, 411, and 412 may be referred to as RX1, RX2, and RX3 respectively. Transmitter sub 405 may comprise a transmitter coil 406 which may be an electromagnetic wave source such as a monopole, dipole, quadrupole, or other higher order wave source. Each of the receiver subs 410, 411, and 412 may comprise three or more receiver coils per sub configured to receive an electromagnetic wave from transmitter sub 405. Receiver subs 410, 411, and 412 may be disposed on wellbore tool 400 a distance 115, 116, 117 from transmitter sub 105. Distance 115, 116, 117 may also be referred to as S1, S2, and S3 respectively.

As illustrated in FIG. 4, first receiver coils 420 are not co-axial with receiver sub 410. There may be an axial offset between first receiver coils 420 and a centerline of receiver sub 410 which may be notated as θ_(R1). Similarly, for transmitter coil 406, second receiver coils 421, and third receiver coils 422, there may be an axial offset of coils from a centerline of the respective subs notated as θ_(T), θ_(R2), and θ_(R3) respectively. In addition to axial offset, each of the first receiver coils 420, second receiver coils 421, and third receiver coils 422 may have an azimuthal offset relative to transmitter coil 406.

Table 1 illustrates the notations for wellbore tool 400 of FIG. 1. The tilt angle of the transmitter coil is notated as θ_(T) and the tilt angle, or azimuthal offset, of each of the receiver coils is notated as θ_(R1), θ_(R2), and θ_(R3) for RX1, RX2, and RX3 respectively. The azimuth angle is dependent on the tool's rotated position in the wellbore. β_(off) is the difference in azimuthal angle between the transmitter coil and the second receiver coil which can be measured before the tool is inserted into the wellbore. β_(Δ1) is the difference in azimuthal angle between the first receiver coil and the second receiver coil and β_(Δ2) the difference in azimuthal angle between the third receiver coil and second receiver coil. β_(Δ1) and β_(Δ2) can take any value, but must meeting the following requirements: (1) β_(Δ1)≠β_(Δ2), (2) β_(Δ1)≠0°, and (3) β_(Δ2)≠0°.

As will be further illustrated below, a system of linear equations may be generated from the wellbore tool's measurements in the wellbore. In Table 1, m represents the total number of measurements per turn of the wellbore tool and n represents the current measurement number. For example, a wellbore tool may take m=32 measurements per turn and n would count 1 through 32. If m is 32, a system of 32 linear equations may be generated.

FIG. 3 illustrates a multicomponent tool which can provide measurements V₁, V₂, and V₃. The measurements may be used to derive Green's response tensor illustrated in Equation 4. The elements of the Green's response tensor represent the impedance response signal received from each RX on the tool. Each element has two subscripts. The first subscript denotes the component of TX and the second subscript denotes the component of RX. For example, Z_(xy) means the response signal of an RX (receiver coil) oriented in Y coordinate direction caused by signal from TX oriented in X direction. The X, Y, and Z directions are defined by the tool coordinate system wherein the coordinate system origin is at the center of TX and the Z direction aligns with the direction from the center of RX2 (the middle RX) to the center of TX. The X direction is perpendicular to Z direction and parallel to layer boundary and the Y direction is perpendicular to both X and Z direction.

$\begin{matrix} \begin{bmatrix} Z_{xx} & Z_{xy} & Z_{xz} \\ Z_{yx} & Z_{yy} & Z_{yz} \\ Z_{zx} & Z_{zy} & Z_{zz} \end{bmatrix} & (4) \end{matrix}$

As previously discussed, an assumption of uniaxial vertical-1D formation structure has been used to simplify resistivity measurements. Equation 5 illustrates that a V1-D assumption will reduce the Greens response tensor to 5 non-zero components. In real formations with anisotropic resistivity each component of the Green's response tensor is needed to accurately report resistivity in each direction.

$\begin{matrix} \begin{bmatrix} Z_{xx} & 0 & Z_{xz} \\ 0 & Z_{yy} & 0 \\ Z_{zx} & 0 & Z_{zz} \end{bmatrix} & (5) \end{matrix}$

A general formula for a response signal of an RX is illustrated in Equation 6 and the expanded formula is illustrated in equation 7.

$\begin{matrix} {V = {\left( {\theta_{T},\beta_{T},\theta_{R},\beta_{R}} \right) = {\quad{\left\lbrack {\sin \; \theta_{T}\cos \; \beta_{T}\mspace{20mu} \sin \; \theta_{T}\sin \; \beta_{T}\mspace{20mu} \cos \; \theta_{T}} \right\rbrack {\quad{\begin{bmatrix} Z_{xx} & Z_{xy} & Z_{xz} \\ Z_{yx} & Z_{yy} & Z_{yz} \\ Z_{zx} & Z_{zy} & Z_{zz} \end{bmatrix}\begin{bmatrix} {\sin \; \theta_{R}\; \cos \; \beta_{R}} \\ {\sin \; \theta_{R}\sin \; \beta_{R}} \\ {\cos \; \theta_{R}} \end{bmatrix}}}}}}} & (6) \\ {= {{\sin \; \theta_{T}\; \cos \; \beta_{T}\sin \; \theta_{R}\cos \; {\beta_{R} \cdot Z_{xx}}} + {\sin \; \theta_{T}\cos \; \beta_{T}\sin \; \theta_{R}\sin \; {\beta_{R} \cdot Z_{xy}}} + {\sin \; \theta_{T}\cos \; \beta_{T}\cos \; {\beta_{R} \cdot Z_{xz}}} + {\sin \; \theta_{T}\sin \; \beta_{T}\sin \; \theta_{R}\; \cos \; {\beta_{R} \cdot Z_{yx}}} + {\sin \; \theta_{T}\sin \; \beta_{T}\sin \; \theta_{R}\sin \; {\beta_{R} \cdot Z_{yy}}} + {\sin \; \theta_{T}\sin \; \beta_{T}\cos \; {\beta_{R} \cdot Z_{yz}}} + {\cos \; \theta_{T}\sin \; \theta_{R}\cos \; {\beta_{R} \cdot Z_{zx}}} + {\cos \; \theta_{T}\sin \; \theta_{R}\sin \; {\beta_{R} \cdot Z_{zy}}} + {\cos \; \theta_{T}\cos \; {\beta_{R} \cdot Z_{zz}}}}} & (7) \end{matrix}$

In Equation 6, the first vector [sin θ_(T) cos β_(T) sin θ_(T) sin β_(T) cos θ_(T)] corresponds to the orientation of the transmitter and the second vector

$\quad\begin{bmatrix} {\sin \; \theta_{R}\cos \; \beta_{R}} \\ {\sin \; \theta_{R}\sin \; \beta_{R}} \\ {\cos \; \theta_{R}} \end{bmatrix}$

corresponds to the orientation of the receiver. Equation 6 may be applied to each receiver using the formulas from Table 1. The general response signal for RX1, RX2 and RX3 are displayed below in equations 8, 9, and 10 respectively.

V ₁(θ_(T),β_(T),θ_(R1),β_(R1))=sin θ_(T) cos β_(T) sin θ_(R1) cos β_(R1) ·Z _(xx) ^(R1)+sin θ_(T) cos β_(T) sin θ_(R1) sin β_(R1) ·Z _(xy) ^(R1)+sin θ_(T) cos β_(T) cos β_(R1) ·Z _(xz) ^(R1)+sin θ_(T) sin β_(T) sin θ_(R1) cos β_(R1) ·Z _(yx) ^(R1)+sin θ_(T) sin β_(T) sin θ_(R1) sin β_(R1) ·Z _(yy) ^(R1)+sin θ_(T) sin β_(T) cos β_(R1) ·Z _(yz) ^(R1)+cos θ_(T) sin θ_(R1) cos β_(R1) ·Z _(zx) ^(R1)+cos θ_(T) sin θ_(R1) sin β_(R1) ·Z _(zy) ^(R1)+cos θ_(T) cos β_(R1) ·Z _(zz) ^(R1)  (8)

By solving equations 8-9, the Green's response tensor may be obtained. In some examples, certain parameters may be already known based on preprocessing of survey information. For example, θ_(T), θ_(R1),θ_(R2),θ_(R3), β_(T),β_(R1),β_(R2),β_(R3) may be known based on tool characterizations. Furthermore, an assumption may be made regarding the relative spacing of each of the receiver subs relative to the transmitter sub.

For each of Equations 11-13, n ranges from 1 to m with m corresponding to the number of measurements per turn. As previously discussed, the number of measurements can be any arbitrary number. Equations 11-13 can be combined into a linear system where each component of the m-by-9 matrix B _(m×9) may be determined by the coefficients of Equations 11-13. The linear system is illustrated in Equation 14.

$\begin{matrix} {\begin{bmatrix} {V_{1}\left( {n = 1} \right)} \\ {V_{2}\left( {n = 1} \right)} \\ \begin{matrix} {V_{3}\left( {n = 1} \right)} \\ \vdots \end{matrix} \\ {V_{1}\left( {n = m} \right)} \\ {V_{2}\left( {n = m} \right)} \\ {V_{3}\left( {n = m} \right)} \end{bmatrix} = {{\overset{\_}{\overset{\_}{B}}}_{m \times 9} \cdot \begin{bmatrix} Z_{xx}^{R2} \\ Z_{xy}^{R2} \\ Z_{xz}^{R2} \\ Z_{yx}^{R2} \\ Z_{yy}^{R2} \\ Z_{yz}^{R2} \\ Z_{zx}^{R2} \\ Z_{zy}^{R2} \\ Z_{zz}^{R2} \end{bmatrix}}} & (14) \end{matrix}$

The linear system of Equation 14 is an over-determined linear equation. However, the rank matrix B is 9 so the system may be solved by least square matrix inversion illustrated in Equation 14 where H denotes Hermitian operator.

$\begin{matrix} {\begin{bmatrix} Z_{xx}^{R2} \\ Z_{xy}^{R2} \\ Z_{xz}^{R2} \\ Z_{yx}^{R2} \\ Z_{yy}^{R2} \\ Z_{yz}^{R2} \\ Z_{zx}^{R2} \\ Z_{zy}^{R2} \\ Z_{zz}^{R2} \end{bmatrix} = {\left( {{\overset{\_}{\overset{\_}{B}}}_{m \times 9}^{H} \cdot {\overset{\_}{\overset{\_}{B}}}_{m \times 9}} \right)^{- 1} \cdot {\overset{\_}{\overset{\_}{B}}}_{m \times 9}^{H} \cdot \begin{bmatrix} {V_{1}\left( {n = 1} \right)} \\ {V_{2}\left( {n = 1} \right)} \\ \begin{matrix} {V_{3}\left( {n = 1} \right)} \\ \vdots \end{matrix} \\ {V_{1}\left( {n = m} \right)} \\ {V_{2}\left( {n = m} \right)} \\ {V_{3}\left( {n = m} \right)} \end{bmatrix}}} & (15) \end{matrix}$

In some examples where the measurements are corrupted by noise, a Tikhonov regularization may be applied to the method. Equation 16 illustrates a Tikhonov regularization applied to Equation 15. The regularization factor λ may be determined by the L-curve method.

$\begin{bmatrix} Z_{xx}^{R2} \\ Z_{xy}^{R2} \\ Z_{xz}^{R2} \\ Z_{yx}^{R2} \\ Z_{yy}^{R2} \\ Z_{yz}^{R2} \\ Z_{zx}^{R2} \\ Z_{zy}^{R2} \\ Z_{zz}^{R2} \end{bmatrix} = {\left( {{{\overset{\_}{\overset{\_}{B}}}_{m \times 9}^{H} \cdot {\overset{\_}{\overset{\_}{B}}}_{m \times 9}} + {\lambda \; \overset{\_}{\overset{\_}{I}}}} \right)^{- 1} \cdot {\overset{\_}{\overset{\_}{B}}}_{m \times 9}^{H} \cdot \begin{bmatrix} {V_{1}\left( {n = 1} \right)} \\ {V_{2}\left( {n = 1} \right)} \\ \begin{matrix} {V_{3}\left( {n = 1} \right)} \\ \vdots \end{matrix} \\ {V_{1}\left( {n = m} \right)} \\ {V_{2}\left( {n = m} \right)} \\ {V_{3}\left( {n = m} \right)} \end{bmatrix}}$

Discussed above are methods and systems for improving current technology. Specifically, improving the quality of electrical images that may be used to determine formation properties. Current problems faced by imaging tools reduce and degrade electrical images. Poor quality electrical images make drilling operations and/or production operations difficult. Operators may make improper decisions based off low quality images. This may extend drilling time, increase costs, reduce production, and/or negatively affect a well. There is a need to produce high quality electrical images that are reliable.

In wellbore imaging operations, certain assumptions may be made about the formation's resistivity trends in 3-D space. These assumptions, referred to as V1-D, may produce inaccurate representations of formation resistivity. As disclosed above, a method which does not make the assumption of V1-D will improve wellbore resistivity images. Specifically, the methods and system may eliminate effects that cause inaccuracies in the imaging data, thereby increasing accuracy of the electrical images.
